Dr. Kathy Phipps studied shakespeare in london

Dr. Phipps, our Director for this production, studied Shakespeare in London during her doctoral studies.  Her extensive training in Shakespeare includes studying with Dr. Randall Robinson, a published authority who taught methods making the language of Shakespeare accessible to the actors and audience. 


Actors who were earlier uncomfortable performing or seeing Shakespeare will learn how to unlock the language and enjoy its timeless beauty. Training with Dr. Phipps will greatly enhance your confidence and enjoyment of the greatest playwright in the English language.
